EDISON – A Hillsborough woman was intoxicated when the car she was driving crashed into two trucks parked on the side of Interstate 287 last spring, resulting in two deaths, a spokesman for the New Jersey State Police said Wednesday.

After striking two parked tractor-trailer trucks, Manco’s Acura flipped on its side with the undercarriage facing oncoming traffic.

One of the parked truck drivers, Owen Flynn, got to help Manco. He was hit and killed by a third tractor-trailer, which also crashed into Manco’s vehicle, police said.

Manco, 37, and Flynn, 62, died at the scene.

Jones said the truck drivers were parked on the side of the road taking a break.

No tickets were issued.

Owen Flynn’s brother-in-law, Laurie, said earlier this week the family had waited months for answers surrounding the accident. They were not available for comment on Thursday.

Manco was a mother of two children married to Donald Manco, a Piscataway police officer. In 2010, Donald Manco was one of three police officers honored for disarming a man who came at them with a knife.

Donald Manco has not responded to requests for comment about the accident.
